I think it should. How about if you walk into a billiards hall that has pool tables and carom tables. Would you choose a pool variant (which one?) or choose carom? @Scott: true, but my aim is to make people make a choice, for statistical purposes. I pretty much love all cue sports too, but...

I've been playing for 9 weeks in APA 8-ball and am really enjoying it. It seems ideal for a novice like me (SL4) who wants to play league pool, meet like-minded people and have fun. It also seems like an excellent springboard from which to develop and improve one's pool skills and ability. My...

What game do you prefer then?

Many thanks for your recommendations, everyone! I have now drawn up a to-buy shortlist. @Steve: can you give me a title of the 2 DVDs you mention, or provide a link? I can't find any mention of them on the homepages of the two authors. Thanks.

Please answer with what you play as your game of choice :)

In British 8-ball (Blackball), the 8-ball, not the apex ball, is on the foot spot! This also applies to international Blackball, I believe.

Do you do Norwegian Nynorsk?

I have both Capelle and Givens (thanks to the Beard!) but haven't yet read them. I'm still reading Capelle's general book on pool. One heads up. Do NOT buy this product: http://www.8ballsecrets.com/ You will learn NOTHING. And WASTE $20. I just did!

Could you point us to any good links on these pool variants?

I know some of these are reviewed on Amazon, but I also want to hear YOUR thoughts :) : The 8 Ball Book by The Monk http://www.azbmarketplace.com/products/The_8_Ball_Book-100273-110.html How To Be a Winning APA Captain...

http://www.azbilliards.com/heyjoe/heyjoe6.php An encouraging article. Two questions/comments on the content of the article though: a) "There are even those within the sport who claim that 10 ball as it is played now represents the absolute highest level a billiard discipline could reach."...

Eh? Can you explain this? It's the opposite of what I'd expect.

Yeah, I've seen that. But what I see overwhelmingly often among players roughly equivalent to APA levels 2-5 I guess is using stun or even draw for almost every shot they play. Even when topspin is totally the way to hit the shot. In a way it makes sense - keeping the CB traveling as little as...

10-ball > 9-ball

Anyone know what the highest recorded break is on a tournament table without the use of English (side)? Would be fascinating to know.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger!
